[IPython-dev] KaTeX (alternative to mathjax?)

I have some questions that are not answered well on that page:


   - Is the only advantage over MathJax speed? If so, the fact that IPython
   notebooks are typically used in cells reduces the usefulness somewhat, as I
   usually only need to revaluate smallish cells. (Of course, maybe using this
   for nbconvert output would be useful....)
   - Does it render all of the same code as MathJax would? e.g. do things
   like \begin{align*} ... \end{align*} still work?
   - Are there things that KaTeX does that MathJax does *not*, besides
   speed?

I think these questions would be important to answer before using it.
